Mayor De Blasio Case

Decent Essays
Host Brian Lehrer's morning conversation with Mayor Bill de Blasio was an interesting one that many liberals in New York City would be satisfied with hearing.

Mayor de Blasio argued that the federal law is both morally and practically important for the residents and visitors in New York City. The Mayor stated that New York has corporate with Homeland Security when it came to illegal immigrant issues. He stated that there is a sheet of 170 offensive-serious and, violent crimes that New York has been following in past years. In short, illegal immigrants that do any of the crimes that are on the complied list, will be deported for the safety of New York. He then argues, that Trump's enforcement against the actions that have been taking place against undocumented immigrants does not make sense.

It was also great to hear the Mayor state that he did not know something, rather than making up information in the spur of the moment - something many people unfortunately have tendencies of doing. Lastly, the Mayor de Blasio supported, with facts, his reasoning’s as to why he believed he will defeat Trump in court - should Trump's executive order against undocumented immigrants affects New York negatively.

    Today the land taken in the City of New London lies empty, as a result of the failing plans the NLDC constructed to economically revitalize New London. The Kelo v. City of New London case faced tremendous backlash because it allowed the federal government to seize anyone's property for supposed economic improvement rather than actual public use. This unintended backlash was so strong causing a majority of states to pass laws that were aimed at nullifying Kelo-style takings of private property. Richard Palmer, one of the state supreme court justices who voted with the majority, later apologized to Susette Kelo, telling her he “would have voted differently” had he known what would happen.

Taibbi argues that large cities started arresting anyone who looked suspicious or may have committed a crime. Even though violent crimes and felonies had decrease, New York's mayor Rudy Giuliani created a policing system where anyone could be stopped without probable cause. Taibbi states that police began to "fan out into neighborhoods like commercial fisherman, throwing nets over whole city blocks and making as many arrests as they could.…

    It’s not just events from the past, but also stating about future events and goals. It also talks about how we, as a community can come together to help, improve, and get involved. Since Mayor Garcetti became mayor, he has improved and helped so much in the cities of California, and without him I believe the cities goals would take longer to happen, and wouldn’t hear our problems nor fix the community. First of all, many of us Angelinos are having a tough time living here in California, and it’s not getting any easier instead it’s getting worse.…

    On April 25, 2016, Darryl Pinkins walked out of the Lake County Correctional Facility in Crown Point, Indiana after spending nearly 25 years in prison for a rape he did not commit. Pinkins’ exoneration is the first instance of using the TrueAllele DNA interpretation system to prove innocence by reanalyzing mixed DNA evidence. In Pinkins' case, the DNA mixture evidence was found on the victim's clothes and had previously been inconclusive. DNA mixtures have been considerably difficult for the criminal justice system to analyze as technology has not been capable of discerning the different people contributing to a given sample. TrueAllele's parent company Cybergenetics proclaims their program as "a million times stronger and more accurate than…

    Deputy Chief Michael Beckman of the Long Beach Police spoke with us about his son’s suicide. The talk was both heart wrenching and informative and I give him a lot of credit to be able to speak with anyone about such a personal issue. This is not something I could or would want to talk about with anyone. He started his talk stating we were all brothers and sisters in law enforcement and he uses this time as therapy for him in dealing with the loss of his son.…

    When the Fifth Amendment was passed in the United States, part of its function was to give the government the power of eminent domain. The power of allows them to take an individual’s private property in return for “just compensation” for “public use” with the intent to better off a community. This could mean that a plot of land could be seized by the government with plans to become a road or a canal. In those cases, the government would be turning a private plot of land into a “public use” in which everyone would benefit from. Interestingly enough though, in the past some important cases have made people question whether or not the government should have that power for many reasons.…

    De Blasio took home the win for mayor on election day, yet again. The 56-year-old democrat had an astounding victory, receiving over 65 percent of the votes.

Many people said that they chose de Blasio because of his promise to increase school funding.…

In the mayor's case, he was given gifts from people whom he had contracts with and those he did not. I would consider this an ethical issue due to bribery on the part of those who do not have a contract.…
